SWP petitioned by HMRC

Actually they are only ruthless with people who repeatedly take the piss. They have no vested interest in making people bankrupt.

If people can’t pay what’s due, and accept the interests and penalties, and aren’t inveterate annd habitually unreliable offenders, then HMRC are perfectly amenable.
Oh that must be why they pursued me for £50 odd pounds that I had already proved I didn’t owe them. They said I’d never taken the paperwork to their offices. It was only when I pointed out that my grandson (a toddler at the time) had hurt himself on a table in their offices and it was recorded in their accident book that they had to admit they were wrong.
To be fair they did have to pay me compensation. But it was a long time ago. The toddler is now 30!

I am surprised by this. Does not strike me as the reckless type
"His most recent engagement was working for DAZN and Channel 5 for Manchester City's 6-0 thrashing of Al-Ain." Don't remember him working our game, it was either Townsend or Defoe on co-comms, both of them run the anti-City script very happily btw.
 
That doesn’t necessarily reflect poorly on Shaun, mate.

It might just be his wanky agent displaying zero judgement and trying to get blood out of a stone.

Met him once for a couple of minutes at a bar opening in Nottingham in around 2004. I like to think I can read peoole, and he was a good guy. Definitely benign. And maybe he was skint.

And £1,000 an hour? Even @Chris in London doesn’t charge that!
£100 quid an inch
 
It wasn't meant to in any way or form mate, I've met Shaun a good few times and is a cracking fella.

It was directed at the agent 110%
Assumed so, but thought I’d fight Shaun’s corner, just in case!

I’ll always remember my encounter with him, or rather the farewell.

Often when you meet people of that modest level of celebrity in that scenario, they will engage with you while you are in front of them, because they think they are professionally obligated to, but that is the extent of their commitment to you. Once you’re out of their orbit, you become invisible.

When I was leaving, and well after we’d stopped engaging with each other, Shaun made a point to say goodbye to me. Even saying ‘nice one’ as I walked towards the exit.

Lots of horrible parasites in football, mate. But very glad your view of Shaun was the same as mine :-)

You should have PM’d me and I’d have sorted the cunts out for you x
 
Not having that G.

The cunts mithered me to fuck a few years ago adamant I owed them over 2 grand. Letters, phone calls, emails the full splather.

Eventually sorted it and they actually owed me the daft cunts.

They sent me an arsey letter saying I owed them 5 grand. After being on hold for what seemed like an eternity they cheerfully acknowledged it was their error as they’d put it into the wrong year’s account.

Cunts, and inept cunts at that.
 
Yes, I sometimes edit a post if I haven’t made the point I’m trying to convey as effectively as I would like. You should try it some time.

I paid about £100k in tax last year, and am up to date. Not sure where that puts me in your hierarchy of self-righteousness.

I just don’t pontificate about others who can’t. People’s circumstances can change. I know this because it happened to me many years ago and I lost everything. People’s legs can be taken from under them because none of us have a crystal ball.
Agree mate, some self-rightous cunts on here...
 
He was with Joleon Lescott on the pitch before the CWC game on Monday Morning. He managed to get to America if he doesn't already live over there. Seemed in good spirits for someone with money worries.
Can always ask his dad to lend him a few quid to tide him over

£500 is fuck all really considering who he is, i once paid Gazza 10 grand for an hour of his time (signing session) this was 20 years ago and i had to go to HIS hotel and then he kept me waiting for 2 hours !!

Good lad Shaun, often saw him with a bunch of players at Ashton's chippy in Stockport on the way home after a night out telling them it was the best haddock in the universe.
 
I never mentioned ruthless mate just that they’re a shower of cunts.

Which they are.
That a problem when people trust their financial advisors.

Leonard Cohen went on a retreat in some monastery only to find when he came out that his agent had done a runner with all his cash.

In his seventies he was forced to go back on the road to recoup his losses. However once he started world touring again he found that he enjoyed it and continued.
